Yuna Shiraiwa (白岩 優奈, Shiraiwa Yūna, born November 26, 2001) is a Japanese figure skater. She has won gold medals at two ISU Junior Grand Prix events and finished in the top five at two World Junior Championships (2016–2017).
Career
Early years
Shiraiwa began skating in 2006, after being inspired by Shizuka Arakawa's 2006 Olympic victory.[1][2] Mie Hamada became her coach when Shiraiwa was six years old.[3]
She competed at the 2014–15 Japan Junior Championships but did not qualify for the free skate, having ranked 27th in the short program.
2015–2016 season
Shiraiwa debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) circuit during the 2015–16 season. At her first JGP assignment, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, she placed fifth in the short program and first in the free skate, winning the gold medal by a margin of 8.06 points ahead of silver medalist Marin Honda. Ranked third in the short and first in the free, she outscored Russia's Alisa Fedichkina by 0.42 for gold at the JGP in Logroño, Spain. Shiraiwa's results qualified her for the JGP Final in Barcelona.
In November, Shiraiwa won the silver medal at the 2015-16 Japanese Junior Championships behind Wakaba Higuchi. A month later, at the JGP Final, Shiraiwa finished 5th. Making her debut at the Japan Championships on the senior level, she placed 5th, and was named as a member of the Youth Olympic and the Junior World teams.
